Stove & Oven Removal

There are some nationwide charities, including The Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity, that may accept donations of household appliances that are in good working condition. Since not all charities can accept large appliances, you’ll want to check with them before attempting to haul your old stove to a donation center. Kitchen appliances like stoves and ovens are very heavy and difficult to move, so make sure you have the proper tools and help before attempting to transport your unwanted appliance.

When you don’t have the time, help or proper tools move your stove, there are some junk removal companies that will take it off your hands for you.

Maybe. Many charities don’t accept kitchen stoves or ovens, and are very picky about those large appliances that they will accept.

Although you may not be able to donate your old stove or oven, you should be able to recycle it by taking it to your local recycling facility. If you don’t feel comfortable moving it yourself, you can contact a junk removal company like LoadUp to do all the hard work for you. LoadUp always tries to donate or recycle used appliances so they don’t end up taking valuable space in our landfills.

To dispose of your old stove in a landfill, contact your local waste management company to schedule a pickup. Depending on the company, this service may cost extra. However, throwing a stove – or other large appliances – in a landfill is not the best method.

Since appliances are recyclable, it’s much better to recycle your old stove than to throw it out with the trash. The average stove contains about 100-150 pounds of steel, all of which can be melted down and used to create new appliances. The current value of steel is between $.02 and $.04, so you may even be able to make a few bucks when you recycle it. You can typically find a recycling center through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) program.
